Good to hear, thanks for letting me know.

Ha, that's actually comforting to know that! Good to know ?

On my 2023 F150 4x4 Supercrew 145" 2.7L V6 Ecoboost 10-speed: 1. The felt skid plate was completely missing; no bolts or screws. Nothing. Didn't notice it until my second oil change at 11,000 and by then, the Ford dealer said it "probably fell off" and wouldn't replace it for free. 2. An...

Truck dummy here, and scheduling my first maintenance check on my truck now that I have 8,500 miles on it. I figured going to the Ford dealer for this first one is a good idea, just to make sure everything is going well, and I don't have a loose screw somewhere (other than my brain). I presume...

Dropped out of college after a semester, simply because none of it made any sense for me. I'd come from a very small town in the midwest, and my only real interest was traveling and meeting interesting people in far-off places. I worked ski resorts, restaurants and then got a chance to learn how...
